Reply With QuoteI've been skimming through the Wikipedia page on the Swiss Military. So everyone 19 to 34 is required to serve? And you carry a rifle and a box of bullets with you on your way there?
i played two turns. thanks for setting the timer to 72 hours, mate
my next sure time will be friday night (CET) after i get back. i might however find some time tomorrow (thursday). we're stort-staffed here and have to have a 24 hour system, so it's usually 6 hours work, 4 hours break.
cheers!

Where are you from? Put yourself on the Apolyton Map!
indeed every male should go, but in the last 6 years it has become a lot easier to get out. unfortunately i turned 19 exactly at a bad moment... many were starting to get out so the army got very restrictive with who can miss it and who not. only a few years later they gave up and reduced the size of the army.
oh well... i've got 19 days left this year and 12 next year so it's coming to an end :whew:

Who's the bum with emancipation? How am I supposed to oppress my people when there are other nations out there setting such a bad example with freedom?
Where are you from? Put yourself on the Apolyton Map!
that'd be me... (you can see such stuff in the foreign advisor screen (F4) on the "info" tab)
but from what i can see you'll be getting democracy and thus emancipation this very next turn
on another note: i have founded sid's sushi. it converts fish, crabs and clams into food and culture. by spreading it i profit 4gpt (before multiplicators) per city, but as a whole it's a powerful corporation (unless you don't have sea food resources or are too low on happiness). so anyhow, if anybody wants a city of yours lacking food to have a branch of sid's sushi, let me know (you can also spread it on your own once you have the corporation tech)

you're running emancipation now, i see... krazy won't be too happy, you doubling up his unhappiness? he'll have to beeline to democracy now himself...
anyhow, i am off back to the army in approx. 6 hours from now. will still try to get my turn(s) through every day. but it very much depends on how many new people are assigned to our bunker and how much more bullcrap there is to do...
cheerio

hey lads, what's up with all the wars?
you guys have been fighting for quite some time now and i can see that gilgamesh and krazy have especially been taking some beating!
adam, may i ask what made you join in that battle?
anyhow, i had intended to attack justinian, but huayna capac just declared war on me. airship bombarded a city and attacked my tanks with catapults... no real harm done... at least now i don't need to consider when and how to attack justinian
any wishes on which cities to leave for you guys? i only want the gems, gold and silver resources, the rest is irrellevant to me.
cheers

It doesn't matter to me, because I don't plan on being around much longer....
so who declared war on whom and how did you two end up fighting?
and why was i left out of this (would have loved the challenge)

Adam attacked me....
not nice aeb
maybe i should come and raze a city of yours to revenge poor krazy?

YEAH!!!! GO FOR IT!
hey, the game seems down. is it just me or have all got this problem?

Working fine for me.
now for me too

Gah, I missed a ton of posts thanks to the intermittent notification emails.
Yea, my internet was down for a few hours the other day, so that's probably why.
I was getting kind of bored with this game, and since Sabre is already the obvious winner I figured I had nothing to lose by attacking Krazy. Plus Gilgamesh is a good friend of mine and Krazy wasn't being nice to him. Eventually I wore tired of the war weariness and numerous battle losses that had >70% chances, so I just got Krazy to capitulate.
I have yet to understand what good anyone gets out of having vassal states. It's just more unhappiness for them and more maintenance for you. To me that doesn't seem worth the ability to demand resources and have a permanent war partner. There should be a tax bonus, researching sharing, etc.
So, how many more turns until you win so we can start a new one with you on Deity level?

i didn't know vassalage was possible for human players :-o
i've been losing too many >70% battles too... especially annoying when my great general led troup got killed with about 78% chance
vassal states (and thereby colonies) are good for reduced maintenance, further visibility, outsourcing research, for votes in UN, etc. unlike colonies and voluntary vassals, the conquered vassals are never happy...

as for the current game:
i'm building spaceship parts. however, i'd quite like to finish this game with a small test (surprise for you guys, without that it involves me attacking you). it'll take 10-15 more turns, depending on the next great person.

the next game i won't play on deity, but i'm happy to go up one more level! the problem is that the difference between levels is merely happiness and health... as you guys are still playing the same level, AIs won't get bonuses vs. you two.
for the next game i'd like to request following changes:
- tech BROKERING allowed (but not free trading)
- normal game speed (make units and upgrades worth something)

Sounds good to me, I'll try to be a better player in the next game.
I just met Hatshesput the Egyptian of the nation of America, and she looks a lot like Roosevelt. All his/her Egyperican cities are under revolt. What's going on? Is this a freshly independent colony?
Where are you from? Put yourself on the Apolyton Map!
I saw that too!
yeah, i thought i'd try out the "grant independence" thingy. hatsepshut looks pretty ugly indeed
all cities are in revolt because those are the old cities of huayna capac which i captured after he attacked me.
can you guys check what types of agreements you can get with roosevelpshut? because colonies get _all_ the techs of their former master. which of course is uncool if they suddently start trading away your carefully acquired techs

Well with tech trading off that wouldn't be a problem in this game.
I sent Sabre the file so he can finish winning on his own. So shall we start a new game then? 15 minute limit on turns?
Where are you from? Put yourself on the Apolyton Map!
no, i meant tech BROKERING off... that means you can trade around - but only the stuff you actually researched yourself. it prevents players for being shafted by others who sell their techs on further

done it. wanted to test whether the cultural victory is the same, now that there are two corporations that actually produce more culture. in the end i was clocking 950 culture per turn (not with hermitage), thanks to corporations, artists, building culture, two cathedrals, etc. 25000 culture isn't that difficult then anymoreOriginally posted by aebbeka

i also kicked arse!! got joao II down to 1 city and was capturing&razing justinian's cities too.
towards the end it was an hour indeed, but only on my super-slow notebook during the army time (slow connection too). but yes, i do micromanage shïtloads! one needs to get the edge one way or anotherSo shall we start a new game then? 15 minute limit on turns?
so what type of game should we play next? pangea, islands again, something new?

I'm up for anything.
I'll try my Vikings again, I don't think it really matters what Civ I play.
I think this game was Archipelago, not Islands. Islands would be fun though. I like games where oceans matter, but Archipelago didn't leave me with much land. I vote for Islands (large, 1 civ each), maybe Continents as long as we can restart if I end up on the same one as Sabre.

Ships are fun
